When the coaches came through LA in May of this year, the event was hosted by the Bings. I believe that they have endowed athletic scholarships, including those of several of the football players.
Julie Foudy is a head-scratcher of a choice. She has a connection to the Rose Bowl and to football but not the same kind of football that we will see tomorrow.
